An Ode to a Sister

This picture is a lie as we did not get
on until we got a good bit older

Today is one of my sisters' birthday (I have 3 older sisters and no brothers). Happy Birthday Ginger Blog Sis, hope it is Ah-Mah-Zing.

The thing about family is if you get lucky like I did then eventually you can evolve (I was a bit of a twatty teenager) and you finally can begin to converse with each other like human beings and dare I even say begin to like each others company. So yes, as soon as my post-adolescence hormone imbalance returned less to volatile levels I was able to communicate with my family without all the screaming and eye-rolls. It's humbling to one day wake up and realise you have been as giant ass-hat for 7 years, cheers for putting up with me guys, sorry about all the mess.

So when I finally adulted, we all started to hang out a bit more and I saw each member of my family for the great people they are, sorry the hormones were clouding up my eyes before. Everyone had a role and each member is awesome in their own unique way.

Birthday sister in question was always the funny member of the family, as much as I wanted it to be me, at times my humor tends to come off a tad too insulting to my family (oh well, I'm less sneery now but the damage was done in my teenage years). So GBS is usually the family member that has us all in hysterics, gift of the gab and great story teller. Cheers for the laughs, thanks for the smiles and all the happy. Heres to many more.

This made me laugh. My brother and I talk about it every once in a while. How much we hated each other when we were younger, how badly we treated each other because we were so immature. I'm thankful my mom stuck in there even when I was a super duper asshole to her over stupid things. It's nice having family like that. Because who's there for you no matter what other than family?

Happy Birthday to your sister.I have a tentative relationship with one brother (he never really grew out of that ass-hat stage imo) but I adore my baby brother who has always been very close to the family.

thanks for all for the bday wishes :) and thanks GBM for your special'Ode'.. am chuffed to bits.. made my day. You know I am a total technophobe so this commenting business takes me a bit longer to figure out! Thank god both our moody tennage years are behind us but could do with cutting a few years off the auld age all the same..Keep up the great writing.. so proud of you,miss you loads.. Love to Husband... chat soon GBS III xx

Well hello Sis, how did you managed to figure out this whole computer malarkey. So glad you did it is amazing to have your comments. Love you loads and yeah I doubt I am going to stop now. Am addicted!

I think it is great that me and my sister get along now after many years of not talking we didn't fight that much we just didn't talk the only think close to the a fight we had was one Father's Day she got all shitty and we were in my parents laundry and I told her to "get over it & stop acting like a child" this pissed her off and she slapt my face and of course I slapt her back but before it could get any worse my brother step in and Sue stormed out the back door and walked off........

Happy (belated) Birthday to your sis!So happy to hear of the great relationship you guys have these days. This post made me giggle because I remember so many instances of my brother and I fighting like cats and dogs during our teen years. I never imagined in a million years we would end up being next door neighbors! =)
